MBA business innovation

MBA in Business Innovation is designed for forward-thinking professionals seeking to lead transformational change in dynamic global markets. This comprehensive program equips you with advanced capabilities to design, implement and manage innovative business models that create sustainable competitive advantage across diverse industries and regulatory environments. You will master digital transformation strategies, platform economics and ecosystem development while exploring how companies successfully navigate disruptive change through subscription models, circular economy principles and multi-sided market development. The curriculum integrates sophisticated analytical methodologies including statistical modeling, scenario planning and strategic simulations, enabling you to evaluate market opportunities, assess systemic risks and make data-driven decisions under uncertainty. Through examination of real-world case studies from global industry leaders and emerging market innovators, you will develop expertise in fintech integration, corporate governance frameworks and cross-cultural strategy development.

Key Facts

The program combines rigorous theoretical foundations with practical application across all core business competencies. You will explore advanced topics including enterprise risk management, market instability and contagion analysis, and strategic human resources management while mastering research methodologies essential for evidence-based decision-making. Through experimentation frameworks such as lean startup principles and design thinking approaches, you will learn to systematically validate and iterate business innovations. The curriculum emphasizes ethical leadership throughout, examining how organizations balance profit objectives with stakeholder welfare, implement responsible data stewardship, and integrate environmental, social and governance considerations into strategic planning. Complemented by Project Management Leadership training, graduates emerge as strategic innovators capable of driving organizational transformation, managing complex change initiatives and creating both financial returns and positive societal impact in an increasingly interconnected business landscape.

Courses

You will need to complete the following modules during the study:

STUDY

Diploma Thesis

Students are required to submit a diploma thesis. The thesis should offer an original application of knowledge in the area of management and should demonstrate the students’ ability to integrate rigorous academic analysis with practical real-world relevance and application within topics covered by the course.

Possible Forms

The chosen subject should be considered in terms of future career plans. Students have been offered positions as a direct result of their MBA Capstone project. The project can take many forms:

Tip

A popular option among students is to work with an organisation on a project that will add value to its business. The output is a report combining the student’s experience and MBA knowledge to provide research, analysis and recommendations. A supervisor works with students to facilitate engagement.

Business Simulations

Every program we offer includes business simulations to test and train students’ business thinking and decision-making skills. We use a fun online game that can be played once / twice a day for 10 minutes. There is no problem with skipping or not playing for long periods of time (unless, for example, your company has issued bonds that require daily attention to manage repayments). The online game is built on an economic model that simulates real-world behavior (from elements like wages or prices to entire supply chains). You can play this game without enrolling in the program – go to the web page SimCompanies.com and start playing. Each student is expected to write a short paper on the company’s strategy and submit company documents to show personal accomplishments.

Vocational Training or Negotiations Course?

Some students prefer to have a recognized professional training in their Master’s program, as it is expected of them in the local job market. We offer such an elective. Such a course should be at least 80 hours in length and usually involves some form of specialized training with another company. It is up to the study department to decide if we will accept such a certificate of training (or other document proving such an activity) as an Approved Pass (AP) (which appears on the diploma supplement or transcript instead of a typical evaluation). Students who do not need to have professional training on their transcript will take the Negotiations Course.
